Nicholas Perrin Norris, 22, of Kings Ridge Boulevard, Tullahoma was charged with manufacture/delivery/sell of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to maintain control of his vehicle, evading arrest and simple possession.
Tullahoma Police Officer Brook Earhart stated in a report that around midnight she observed that the driver of a Green Toyota was failing to maintain control of his vehicle by crossing the right side of his lane.
Upon making a traffic stop, the officer allegedly smelled a strong odor, possibly of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded eight small baggies of green leafy substance which Norris allegedly admitted was marijuana. Also found in the vehicle was a metal grinder with drug residue inside it.
When the officer ran a warrant check she learned that he has two outstanding warrants in Coffee County for evading arrest and simple possession of drugs. The police report states that the marijuana and the grinder were found in a bag under the carpet of the vehicle.
Norris was booked into the Coffee County Jail under a bond of $7,500 and is to appear in Coffee County General Sessions Court June 2.
